Closed

The objectives of the Thermal Power Project are to: enable the Volta River Authority (VRA) to maintain the country's electricity supply by providing the generating capacity to meet the electricity demand in Ghana; enhance operational efficiency through transmission and generation system improvements; moderate demand growth through economic demand management programming; strengthen the institutional capabilities of the power sector and of VRA by supporting its ongoing program of institutional development to meet the requirements for the mid 1990s and beyond. The project consists of the construction at Takoradi of 300 MW combined-cycle generation capacity, consisting of two combustion turbine generator sets of 100 MW each, a heat recovery boiler and a steam turbine generator to produce an additional 100 MW; generation-associated transmission and associated sub-stations; consulting engineering services to manage and supervise project; and managerial and technical services for the operation and maintenance of the power station. The project will also include components on the development of suitable regulatory arrangements and private participation in the power sector, a program for demand-side management and support for VRA's program of institutional development and capacity building through training and technical assistance.
